$300

But the console needs a powerful launch lineup, not like 3DS. I also really want a wireless Classic Controller Pro with rumble so me and my bro can co-op.

If 3DS performs well this holiday I can see it being 350, especially since people see the tablet-like controller as expensive.

What I'm willing to pay depends entirely on the value of the console, there's no absolute price barrier.

Hm. I hope it is $350, but I would get it if it was $400. Dunno if I'll go any higher.

If the 3DS was $250 then I would think theres no way it would be 299. I would guess 399 and that is definitely the most I would pay (after taxes in my lovely state that is over 450)

No more than $300. Nintendo won't be able to justify to consumers the price point being higher of both the PS3 and X360, so it has to be at least equal or less.

It depends on what it has to offer. I watched Nintendo's E3 presentation, and it was very impressive. But from what I've seen, I would pay about $300.

I'd pay no more than 400 dollars for it. However, i may change my mind if it launches with good enough software, but atm, im saying 400.

With HD hardware and the Wii U tablet? I think its obvious that it's gonna launch at 400$.

Wii U, 399$. Get used to the idea.

Never going to happen, if it's $350-400 in the US (which I think it will be) the lowest it will be here is £300-350. We always get screwed over with prices like that:(

I wouldn't mind a few choices. Something like-

$299.99-Wii U, U-Pad and Pack in game.

$324.99-Wii U, U-Pad, Wiimote+, Nunchuck and Pack in game.

$349.99-Wii U, U-Pad, Wiimote+, Nunchuck, Classic Controller Pro (hopefully redesigned to work without the Wiimote) and Pack-in game.

I think it could make sense, draw people in with a fairly low price at $299 and A lot of people wouldn't mind giving up $25-50 extra for a few extra controllers, but if you already have them, why buy them again?

300 euro is the most I'd pay for any console. And it would need to be pretty darn special too to earn that.

Adding in the fact that Nintendo KNoOOwwss that people demand the best price, the fact that DVD is not so much in demand, and no one can use Blu Ray besides SONY, that takes a lot out of the price. It's DEF not going to be the same price as 3DS, but by the time Wii U comes out, I think they'll drop the 3DS Price, especially to compete with the PSVITA price point. So considering that 3DS will prob be $199 when Wii U comes out, I can't see the system being more then $100 over their hand held, so I'm still stick with $299! Take into account that I also can't see Nintendo making such a big price jump. $100 more then the launch price of Wii? $350 for Wii U ? I just can't feel that. Besides the point that 360 and PS3 will be prob EVEN CHEAPER by that time, $350 just seems way too high and too cocky with systems with almost similar power on the market for much cheaper. $299 is $50 more then Wii, but considering inflation and more powerful technology, minus the fact that Nintendo likes to keep their prices at a sexy level, I'm still sticking with $299. Who wants to start taking bets?!?! ;P

If i was to buy it I would say $200-$250. Thats my price point for it unless certain things change. It don't really matter if its $350 or $500 because I wouldn't get it until its at my price point. I do like the Wii U but its Nintendo after all and you got to see if third party will support them meaning always wait until everyone has there systems out before Wii (as gamers) and U (as yourself) pick one.

No more than $299. If it turns out that all of their marketing speak has been lies (like with the Wii), then I'll buy it used for $200.

I won't pay more than $299 for it at launch, and that's only if they have some must-play launch titles. I read somewhere that they realize they made a mistake with the 3DS launch titles and are going to do better with the Wii U. If they don't then I will just wait until it is cheaper.
